Quiet Leadership 14 Reasons Introverts Excel As Leaders

65% of senior executives see introversion as a “barrier to leadership”.

Here’s why that’s BS.

And a few tips for aspiring introvert leaders:

1. Manage time wisely:
Dedicate at least 30 minutes to yourself for every 1-hour meeting.

2. Share your ideas:
Write down your thoughts and share them with a trusted person; don’t keep your genius to yourself.

3. Embrace authenticity:
Be true to yourself; there’s no need to force extroverted traits.

4. Prioritize deep relationships:
Cultivate close connections for more meaningful personal and professional interactions.

5. Communicate your thought process:
Introverts store thoughts for a long time before speaking; be sure to make your process transparent.

6. Act on observations:
Turn all your listening and observing into actionable suggestions.
